The NBC head of operations stressed that for anybody to establish a television station in the country, such a person must apply   for a license from the NBC and that such a license must be duly signed by the President and Commander-in-Chief. "This Commission, (NBC), wishes to reiterate that it has not granted any license for the operation of any station by that name   and is therefore, illegal going by Act 38 of 1992 and the amendment, Act 55 of 1999".   Mr. Aina therefore warned members of the public especially prospective applicants, job seekers, shareholders or donors that   the said proprietor of the illegal station have nothing to do with the NBC.
